Identifying Effective Methods to Teach Social Determinants of Health
Conference Tracks
Assessment and SoTL - Research
Abstract
There is an increasing call for pre-health professions students to understand how the social determinants of health (SDOH) influence health and well-being. Yet, there is limited information about best practices to improve undergraduate education. There is even less information about how to best deliver this information for students who complete the course online or in-person. The goal of this project is to test the effectiveness of an undergraduate SDOH course at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) to improve the quality of the course and to contribute new information about best practices related to teaching undergraduates about SDOH.
